Day 302. How should parents treat their children? (2024)

Today is day 302 and we are studying The Fifth Commandment. 302. How should parents treat their children? Earthly fathers and mothers should represent to their children the loving care of our heavenly Father by nurturing and protecting them, teaching and modeling to them the Christian faith and life, guiding and assisting them in education, and encouraging them in their lives and vocations. (Genesis 48:8–16; Deuteronomy 6:4–7; Proverbs 19:18; 22:6; Matthew 3:13–17; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21; 1 Timothy 5:8) We will conclude today by praying a prayer For Children found on page 77 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
